Northeast Beat with Paul Cassaro and Dan Sohler

Wild Card Round Preview and Picks, Week 18 Recap, Georgia-Alabama Pick and Super Bowl Predictions

Paul and I reconvene after a couple weeks due to the Holidays and my trip to Florida discussing what was a fantastic NFL Week 18 with plenty of drama even though many of the postseason teams were known already. The Los Angeles Chargers-Las Vegas Raiders game was one of the most memorable games in recent league history to close the book on the 2021 NFL regular season and provided great drama as the Chargers stormed back from being down 29-15 to tie it up late and send it into overtime.  Going into the game, it was well known that a tie would advance both teams. The Steelers needed a victory by one in order to make the postseason. Chargers coach Brandon Staley called a timeout before third down which was a decent run play by the Raiders which gave them the yardage they needed to attempt a field goal. It will always remain a question though if he did not call the timeout, would they have attempted a field goal, knowing they are in with a tie. 

We then discuss some of the coaching changes, including the Dolphins controversial decision to move on from Brian Flores.  We break down each NFL Wild Card game and give our predictions and final score for each game. We discuss Georgia-Alabama for a bit and I do wind up getting my pick right at Georgia -2.5 with their 33-18 title victory over Alabama and also give our Super Bowl predictions throughout the course of this episode. Hope everyone enjoys our latest podcast and enjoys the postseason!
